The Xecuter PS3 HDXT is a caddy type frame that plugs into the PS3 internally where the 2.5" Sata drive would normally slot. You then clip on the matching faceplate and bingo you now have a clean external Sata connection. No frills and no fuss. You can now add any hard drive you wish and connect it any way you wish. Team Xecuter have also designed a simple but cost effective Sata to IDE convertor (that is a separate product)

Key points:

- To be able to add any SATA or IDE Hard Drive externally to the PS3 - so there was no need for any expensive 2.5" Sata Hard Drive upgrades if the need for a very large hard drive was required in the near future.

- To make the adapter a clean design and pleasing to the eye.

- To be simple and cheap

What pisses me off is that they scrapped the PS3-styled cover (which matched the system's style perfectly) that covered the drive as it sits externally. They scrapped it due to "criticism".

I wonder wtf the people were thinking that criticized that, because quite frankly, I don't want to have my HDD sitting out in the open and because they scrapped that nice looking cover for it, I think I will just invest in a USB external drive.
